Headrest tablet mount

I posted here as its not really a tech question. I have searched here and on the good ole goggle and found nothing saying this is a good and economic product (posh way to say cheap)
Galaxy tab 2 (7")
9 year old on long trips
Mount required for rear headrest, yet want something thats not going to rattle when she watches a film, she can take it out if she wants and is pretty low profile when no tablet is in there.

So any pointers?

if you want something like that then you could easily do the following, buy what is shown, add sticky padding to where it joins the headrest legs and behind the item and even the bits that hold the tablet/pad and that would remove any noise that can be made by it being on the move theoretically

I am just surprised there are not many reviews around for mounts if i am honest, I am sure plenty of people use them, maybe they dont tend to wobble about much.

Looked at brodit yet way over the top prices just to mount one in the back for the little one, in the front as a feature they are fine, yet not for what I am looking for.

I can't zoom in on the pictures but that ebay one looks exactly like the one I've got. It's been fine to be honest - I would recommend it, especially at that price.

A tablet playing Ben and Holly and Peppa Pig on loop is a life saver on long journeys!

This is the one I got

Tahnk you, yes looks almost the same to me, I have emailed the dude to ask if it will fit a 7" and for the price if it does its worth a punt if i get this one i will feed back about it, as there seems to be a lack of this

Ok I have gone for this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 as it is made for the 7" and it has support on all sides, was not convinced by ones that only supported 2 sides. Once i get it I will do a bit of a review as that may help others.

mmm most nine years olds have great difficulty in getting it off their mouths, especially when wrapped round several times, often resulting in exhaustion and falling a sleep and thus a peaceful journey, also try tying hands up as well, great mirth can be had by all involved

another cheaper alternative is piriton in great quantities

Ok so this arrived today, it seems as well made as anything and it can be, nothing flimsy about it at all. has lots of adjustments and all seem pretty tight, I like the lips that support the tablet, the side adjusters are a little crap on first play though.
I have not fitted and used as yet, so once i do and get some feedback from said 9 year old I will report back but for the money, to me seems a good starting point

I use a similar ebay one for my ipad. It has tilt ect. Doesn't rattle, and keeps the 2yr old amused on journeys. Clips on and of easy enough.
